    Wow what a pressing.

    This sounds fantastic on my system. Great bass, great dynamics.

    Probably in my top 20 best sounding albums.

          Reading the comments below, mine is clean, quiet and sounds pretty good. Good base response and separation. Maybe not as punchy as it could be but certainly no complaints and a good listen. I don’t think this is a half speed remaster. My copy is black vinyl not blue and sounds great. System is Rega P10, aura phono, KW550 amp and B&w 804D3.

            Surprisingly my copy sounds pretty solid. I agree that at moments it seems the guardrails might be slightly on and it doesn’t have as much pop as it should but both discs were quiet, flat, clean and had consistently good sounding recordings so I’m pretty happy.

              Hello, I see no references on the album saying that this is indeed a half speed remastering

                Record sounds very flat and compressed. This great album deserves better.

                  Love this complication, great package and all the greatest hits of the later period (imho their best period). Must have collection of pop/rock history. Sounds sharp 👌

                    Not a big Queen fan, and most of my favorite Queen tunes aren’t here. But it was a gift and I seldom listen to it. Also, the vinyl is blue and I like

                      Terrible copy. Someone compressed the living daylight out of it, you should be ashamed dude..
